Networking
Hey, kids! Planning on bringing your laptop to Chicago this weekend? Interested in wifi possibilities? You're in luck!
From Karen Schneider:
For those of you who want to purchase wi-fi at McCormick Center, the discounted wireless access ($25 for the conference, June 24-29) will be available directly through the conference services desk, where they will have a block of IDs and passwords. I think this is a new enough offering that you shouldn't see long lines.As the unofficial Wi-Fi Councilor, I'd like to hear post-hoc how easy it was to get and use, where the hot/cold spots were, whether you would have preferred getting it also/instead of at a key conference hotel, and if you'd like to pay for this as a registration form check-off for future conferences.
For those of you anticipating spending much of your time at the conference hotels or a few of the many casual dining establishments, the ALA wiki has a WiFi page with numerous links to free wifi hotspots in Chicago.
This may all be academic for me, unfortunately, because my Heloise, my hard drive, seems to have come down with a case of rheumatic fever. Off to the Apple Store tonight ...
